"I'm laughing!"

Tim Horvath writes an extremely generous and wonderful review of Scorch Atlas for Identity Theory, I mean the whole damn thing is worth excerpting, and wow: "Scorch Atlas is quite possibly the most visceral book I’ve ever read, and in its uncompromising slog through muck and murk, boot-heeled in language, the book carves out a style which, once experienced, feels necessary. As flickering lights can induce seizures, Butler’s prose seems prone toward causing synesthesia; touch permeates and choke-holds all the senses, rendering images tactile, reinventing sounds, smells and tastes, even air itself, as palpable spatio-temporal entities."

Going to Boston Saturday to lecture at Emerson on sentences, including sentences by a slew of people, D. Williams, Hannah, Goransson, Kilpatrick, Glaser, about 12 others, if you are in Boston maybe you can come or something, here's a flyer:

Fuck, Tyrant 7 is an ill ill motherfucker. I don't think I wrote my story that is in it, my mother's computer did. It's my best story. Still reading slow, haven't read anything that hasn't spinecrushed.

Blake, I am wondering why you are blocking my comments on HTML Giant. You asked your people if you should ban me and I think out of 80 comments only Barry said "ban the fucker". So, you ban the fucker. Are you having sex with barry? Who are you protecting? Am I really more offensive than others on the site? Is this personal? Do I know you?

i mark your comments spam because you can't stop shitting all over the floor, just like the countless spam ads trying to sell dick cream. if you had something constructive to say, negative or positive, i would unblock it as spam. but you destruct conversations by just shitting on them. and i'm not your babysitter. it's not a democracy. when you can stop commenting in ways that are just to start shit, and therein derail any worthwhile conversation, i will stop blocking you as spam.

You didn't answer the fact that most of your viewers don't view me as "spam" at all...there goes your "babysitter" theory...I understand it's not a democracy, so, in other words, it is personal, right?
